I havent started my period yet, im not due to start until dec. 2nd. But lately ive been feeling a bit...Unusual. Most of my "symptoms" id dismiss as pms, however, ive been feeling lightheaded and nauseated, frequently. I was wondering if anyone knew if I should wait to take a test if my period is late, or if I could go ahead and take one soon!! My boyfriend and I had sex, on my fertile days (i didnt know my fertile days until only a few days ago) and part of our sex was unprotected! So I was wondering if the test would be more accurate if I waited until after my period.

Hey pip,

yeah, it would be a good idea to wait until your period is due, or even late. Giving your hcg levels to build up to a detectable level if you are in fact pregnant. Try not to worry too much about it though, as you probably already know stress can delay your period.

Good luck
